Joe El-Abd says the carousel of coaching changes in Steve Borthwick's set-up stops with him as he takes charge of England defence.Jones himself took over from Kevin Sinfield who switched to a job looking after skills and kicking less than two years after being appointed as defence coach.
El-Abd's relationship with Borthwick goes back to their days as teenagers. They were house-mates at Bath University, before the friends forged playing and coaching careers at opposing West Country clubs and then different sides of the English Channel. El-Abd will initially combine his work with England with a final season as head coach of Oyonnax as the French second-tier side attempt to regain their place in the Top 14.El-Abd says that he does not plan to uproot the basis of the defensive system put in place during Jones' stint.
